Here is the NEW REVAMPED OLIS contents file. New files are PC_FORTHS
and SMALL_HISTORY. The reason for the repost is coz the last one was
a bit brief and, therefore, misleading. This new format gives info
about file sizes and the last time that a file was updated. Also the
file descriptions are more detailed.
